Praying at All Times

<DIV>A revised and improved translation of Pope Paul VI's encyclical letter, <I>Humanae vitae</I>.</DIV>

Humanae Vitae: Encyclical of His Holiness Pope Paul VI

<DIV>Saint Ignatius Loyola, the founder of the Jesuits, espoused the ideal of becoming "contemplatives in action." He was convinced that contemplation (the deep awareness and appropriation of the unconditional love of God) should affect our actions, and that our actions need to be brought back to contemplation. <P>These five dimensions of the spiritual life: (1) the Holy Eucharist, (2) spontaneous prayer, (3) the Beatitudes, (4) partnership with the Holy Spirit, and (5) the contemplative life itself, generally do not develop simultaneously or even in parallel ways. Some develop very quickly, but do not achieve significant depth; while others develop quite slowly, but seem to be almost unending in the depth of wisdom, trust, hope, virtue, and love they engender. The best way of explaining this is to look at each of the pillars individually.<P>Before doing this, however, it is indispensable for each of us to acknowledge (at least intellectually) the fundamental basis for Christian contemplation, namely, the unconditional Love of God. Jesus taught us to address God as Abba. If God really is Abba; if His love is like the father of the prodigal son; if Jesus' passion and Eucharist are confirmations of that unconditional Love; if God really did so love the world that He sent His only begotten Son into the world not to condemn us, but to save us and bring us to eternal life (Jn 3:16-19); if nothing really can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus (Rm 8:31-39); and if God really has prepared us "to grasp fully, with all the holy ones, the breadth and length and height and depth of Christ's love, and experience this love which surpasses all understanding, so that we may attain to the fullness of God Himself" (Eph 3:18-20), then God's love is unconditional, and it is, therefore, the foundation for unconditional trust and unconditional hope. There can be nothing more important than contemplating, affirming, appropriating, and living in this Unconditional Love. This is the purpose of contemplation; indeed, the purpose of the spiritual life itself. <P></DIV></P></P></P>

Five Pillars of the Spiritual Life: A Practical Guide to Prayer for Active People

<P> When it came to writing about the &ldquo;permanent things&rdquo;, Thomas Howard was without peer. An English professor and Catholic convert, Howard wrote prolifically over his long career, in a style that will never cease to be both relevant and refreshing. This collection of his essays is a sampling of his finest work.&#160; </P><P> The secular world is a rushing whirlwind, often devoid of the consideration of eternal truths. Seeking to voice the beauty of such truths, Howard articulates and respectfully engages with the world&rsquo;s ideas, contrasting them with the slower-paced, heaven-directed worldview inherent in the tradition of Christian thought. In doing so, he makes this tradition accessible to everyone. </P><P> &#160;With clarity, wit, and culture evident throughout, Howard adds a personal touch to many of his essays, coloring them with anecdotes and writing in a concise, engaging style. Topics include imagination and storytelling, great literature, poetry, the writings of the Inklings, modern attitudes toward sin and evil, proper worship of God, and the significance of daily, ordinary choices. Howard melds the richness of a deeply Christian worldview with graceful prose, and <I>Musings on a Starry Night</I> is sure to enrich anyone who reads it. </P>

Musings on a Starry Night: A Constellation of Cosmic Contemplations

<DIV>This is a popular account, by one of Europe's leading theologians, of the meaning of Christian faith and the serious contemporary challenges to that faith. Kasper has gathered together various lectures and revised and reworked them for publication. Not intended to be a theological treatise on faith, these very readable reflections address some of the real obstacles to the understanding and deepening of personal faith in today's world. <P>Kasper examines the problem of "the handing on of the faith" that exists almost everywhere today. Faith itself is in question today, not simply the "how" of its being taught or handed on, but the "what" and "why" of faith. The knowledge of the faith has fallen to a new low today, and many of the fundamental attitudes of belief - reverence, humility, trust and devotion - have become foreign to us. Kasper provides profound insights into these problems and then give clear solutions to this modern dilemma.</P></DIV>

Transcending All Understanding: The Meaning of Christian Faith Today

<DIV><P>The more popular, practical counterpart to Hans Urs von Balthasar's own book of the same title, this book plumbs the depths of what it means to be a Christian.</DIV></P>

The Christian State of Life

<P>What is theology? It is nothing more, or less, than the study of God. All who pray are, in a sense, theologians. All who believe in Christ are called not only to sanctity, but to theology. &quot;Be transformed by the renewal of your mind&quot; (Rom 12:2).</P><P>Yet the field of theology, as taught in universities, can sometimes look like a distant abstraction, reserved for an intellectual elite. This cannot be not the case. To prove it, Cistercian Fathers Roch Kereszty and Denis Farkasfalvy of the University of Dallas, both veteran spiritual directors, bring us <I>Theology in Practice: A Beginner&#39;s Guide to the Spiritual Life</I>.</P><P>Guiding readers from the first inklings of God&#39;s presence, to the fire of married love, to the miracle of the Eucharist, and even to the hour of death, this book completes the circuit between theological study and human experience. Never before has the Church believed as strongly as she does today that spirituality must, like leaven, penetrate and transform the ordinary, &quot;average&quot; walks of life. It ought not be limited to those who withdraw from the world.</P><P>This unique work, written by two longtime friends and brothers in religious life, draws on the riches of the Cistercian founder Saint Bernard of Clairvaux&mdash;and with him the whole tradition of the Church Fathers&mdash;to communicate Christ&#39;s peace to hearts and minds.</P>

Dr. Delgado has recently written “Abortion Pill Reversal: A Second Chance at Choice” where he details this medical innovation and several moving stories where women have decided to keep their child and successfully given birth to healthy babies. In today’s episode, he joins Rose Trabbic to give a brief overview of his background, his own growth in the Catholic Faith, the revolutionary use of progesterone, and the thousands of children he has helped give a second chance of life.

<div>
<p>Spiritual writer, theologian, and philosopher Fr. Robert Spitzer, S.J., Ph.D., tackles the topic of recognizing and overcoming spiritual evil. His focus is the human heart. His goal: our spiritual and moral transformation, which leads to true peace and genuine happiness.</p>
<p>The book is divided into two main parts: (1) the realities of God's goodness and of spiritual evil, and (2) recognizing and overcoming the diabolical tactics of deception, temptation, and sin. The author synthesizes the best advice given by Catholic spiritual masters throughout the ages and gives a practical guide to implementing it in our busy lives.</p>
<p>Father Spitzer provides the biblical and theological background of Jesus' victory over evil. He also explores the reality of the devil, including extraordinary manifestations of diabolic activity such as possession. With insights from modern psychology, he shows how prayer can transform the subconscious psyche, making us better able to resist temptation, detach from the world, and grow in holiness.</p>
